REUUIOTS MEDITATIONS—NO. Will.
“in THE BEGINNING.”
The human intellect is'so constituted as to
render it incapable of comprehending those hid
den principles which immediately concern its
existence. The very first groundwork, the
foundation of human philosophy is laid upon a
mere supposition, and all the exertions of finite
wisdom cannot free the subject of doubt and un
certainty. What is life? It is answered : the
union of soul and body—and, as a consequence,
death must be the separation of the same. The
soul, then, is the preserver of bodily existence.
But how docs it perform this ? In what manner
can a material and an immaterial be united ?
W hat action has the soul upon the common
sources of nutriment and sustenance to the bodv?
If it he answered, that the soul has certain attri
butes or properties that qualify it to preside over
the body, and give it the power to rule ; it is
asked by what agency this dominion is accom
plished ? If there be a governor, there must be
the governed, and, in addition, the governing
agency. Supposing the soul to be the first, nnd
the body the second, of what docs the latter con
sist ? Some may say the will—but what is tha t
but the action ofthe mind ? and are the mind and
soul distinct? Some assert that the soul, mind,
heart and will, are different appellations given to
one and the same substance, to express its seve
ral qualities. If this be correct, the mystery is
still unexplained—but if it be false, the position
is unreasonable. We have allowed the actual
existence of a governor and the governed, but
where shall we find the government ? Can we
consolidate a mover and a motion into one? If
it be true—as some assert—that the soul is a liv -
ing substance ; that the mind is its vital attri
bute, the will the active principle, and the heart
the residing point of all ; what power is it that
enforces obedience to the dictates of the will?
Can the Infidel answer?
Ifit be said that there is no positive connec
tion between soul and body—why is it that they
sympathise so largely with each other in theex
pcrience of pain or pleasure ? Why is it that
the mind is impaired when the body is afflicted;
and that the body suffers when the mind is dis
turbed ? There must be a positive union—but
how > The soul is the life of a man ; take it
away, and he crumbles to dust. The soul must
be the man—and were it possible that it could
enter a stone, it would contain the human spirit
as perfect as the natural body now does. Then
if the human soul be but an inhabitant of the bo
dy, how can it preserve it ? And why docsthe
infliction of certain wounds destroy the life ?
But again : if the soul be the preserver of the
body, through what means does it act ? Vain
philosophy ! thou art unable to prove the exist
ence even of thine own theories ! How easy it
is fur the mind to wander into this labyrinth of
speculation, until it becomes beclouded in the
darkness of its own suppositions! Nor can any
mortal mind explain the theory of its own exist
ence, independently of the Word of God. If,
then, vve are driven to this source of information,
how careful should we construe this single evi
dence ! How careful should we be, that we ful.
ly understand the language of the testimony !
Notwithstanding the poverty of the human
mind, and its inability to give sufficient reason
for its own being, I understand that we are to
consider with thoughtfulness the statements that
are left on record in the hook of Divine Inspira
tion. There can lie no correct foundation lor a
true and consistent Theology, oilier than that
furnished by the Scriptures, and that is often
capable ofvarious interpretations.
Having first endeavored to show how much
the mind is circumscribed and contracted in its
arguments concerning life, I shall next attempt
to reconcile the conflicts of unaided reason with
the credible propositions ofthe Infinite Mind*
With these, Ishall endeavor to prove, Ist. The
existence of God. 2d. The Omnipotence, Om
niscience, Omnipresence, Justice and Intellect
or Mind of that God. 3d. The existence of
Man. 4th. The Dependence, Ignorance, Self
ishness and F.ternity of Fallen Man, as contrast
ed with his Original State. sth. The Right of
the Divine Being to rule, and to exact obedi
ence front Man. Gth. The Obligation of Man
to reverence God. 7th The End to be attained
by unconditional subordination to the Creator.
In these seven propositions will be comprised—
provided my intention is carried into effect, a
brief yet practical system of Theology, with all
due allowance for my ability, and all proper def
erence to those who have written upon this sub
ject before mo.
As the theme evidently demands, I shall ap
propriate a forthcoming number, or two, per.
haps, to each of these several divisions, bearing
in mind to depart as much as possible front the
usual inode of reasoning upon these topics, and
to present them in anew and interesting feature
—a consideration of vast importance in treating
a subject which has been the recipient of the
most celebrated and distinguished attention.
By way of preface, I may make a few obser
vations upon the first three words found in the
Scriptural account of the Creation ofthe World
“ln the beginning.” This doubtless relates to
the commencement of Time ; yet it docs not
say at "the beginning, as many would express
the date of any event. Wo are therefore led to
believe that Time had already begun before the
work of tho creation was finished. Else liovv
could it be in “the beginning ?” Furthermore'
vve are told, in a subsequent verse that “the eve
ning and the morning were the first day.” The
measurement of Time, then, began from the
precise moment that the heaven and the earth were
spoken into being. But, the Scripture says these
were created in the beginning : therefore, Time
must have commenced, even before the first
works of the Creation were performed. This
leads us to believe that Time did not, as is per
haps the most commonly received opinion, so
far as its substance is concerned, spring into ex
istence at the creation of tho world. Because,
it existed before. I then lay down the proposi
tion : that Time is but the record of the move
ments of the heavenly bodies; and that the sub
stance is Eternity itself. In support of this, I
shall endeavor, in a future paper to enter more
into detail concerning this interesting theme,
which will remove many difficulties from the
consideration ofthe subject heretofore proposed.

REPORT :
To His Honor, the Mayor,
and City Council of Macon :
The undersigned in behalf of the Delegates
from the City of Macon to the Railroad Con
vention, which recently assembled in the City
of Augusta, beg leave to submit to your Hon-t
orable Body the following Officialßeport of
the Proceedings of that Meeting :
Augusta, September 2G, 1849.
At an adjourned meeting to this city of the
late Macon Railroad Convention, in the absence
ofthe President, Gen Bledsoe, of Putnam, was
called to the Chair, and John Milledge, Esq.,of
Richmond, was requested to act as Secretary.
The following gentlemen appeared and took
their seats as delegates, viz :
Messrs. Bledsoe, Young, N. Bass, Perryman,
Hudson, Mosely, Dennis, H. Bass and Wright,

Messrs. 1,. N. Whittle, S. T. Chapman, T. J.

Mr. Mill er made some remarks in reference

this subject. After remarks made by Messrs.
King, Bass, Chapman and Whittle, in regard to
this project, a motion was made and carried that
a committee of two from each delegation be ap
pointed by the Chair to report to this meeting,
at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The Chair appoint
ed Messrs. Chapman and Whittle of Macon,
M cssrs. N. Bass and Perryman of Eatonton,
King and D’Antignac of Augusta, and John Cun
ningham of Greensboro’, that Committee. The
President, on motion, was made Chairman of
this Committee.
The meeting then adjourned to 5 o’clock this
afternoon.
5 O'clock, P. M.
The Convention met at 5 o’cloek, P. M., ac
cording to adjournmect, when the Committee
reported through their Chairman, the President,
the following resolutions, which on motion, were
received and unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That this Con vention do recommend
that tha Georgia Railroad nnd Banking Compa
ny proceed, at the earliest practicable period, to
construct, under their existing charter, a branch
from some point on the Georgia Railroad to the
town of Eatonton, in Putnam county.
Resolved , That the said Company be also re
commended to apply to the next Legislature of
Georgia for an increase of its oapital stock, and
such other legislative action as may be necessary
for an extension of the said Eatonton branch to
the city of Macon, nnd that stockholders in said
Branch be admitted to all the benefits, privileges
and immunities of the present stockholders in
the company—in other words, that the Stock of
said Road and said Branch to Macon, be consol
idated.
The thanks of the Convention were tendered
to the President and Secretary, nnd ordered that
its proceedings be published. The Convention
then adjourned.
ROBERT BLEDSOE, Ch’n.
John Milledge, Secretary.
It rtinj' he proper, in explanation of these Pro
ceedings, to state that upon mature reflection and
delibera ion it became apparent that a distinct
organization under the Macon and Madison
charter, would be attended with considerable
difficulty and greatly increased expense, in work
ing the Road after its completion—and as the
Macon and Madison charter was nearly identical
in its provisions, with the present Georgia Rail
Road charter, which already authorizes that
Company to construct a Branch Road to Eaton
ton ; it was thought advisable to recommend tho
Georgia Railroad Company to proceed at once
with the construction of said Branch, and to ap
ply for an increase of Capital Stock and such
other Legislative action as may be necessary to
enable them to extend the work as far as Macon.
It will be seen that the terms upon which the
Georgia Railroad Company propose to admit the
new Stockholders, are highly advantageous.
The Georgia Railroad Company is already trans
acting a business amounting to but a fraction less
than one million of dollars per annum, and their
net earnings the present year will he equal to
fourteen per cent, on the old Stock. The Stock
holders in the proposed Branch will be admitted
as common partners, and be entitled to a full
share of the entire earnings. They will there
fore have a most reliable guaranty that the Stock
can, under no circmnslnnces, depreciate below
par, and that the Road will certainly pay divi
dends as soon as completed. This cannot fail to
make the Stock one of the most desirable invest
ments in the State.
The present Stockholders in the Georgia Rail
Road Company, will, on the other hand, be am
ply repaid for all the advantages thus granted to
their new associates. The completion of the
Waynesboro’ Railroad will necessarily draw
from the Georgia Railroad Company all the tra
vel and trade for Macon, Southwestern Georgia,
Middle and South Alabama and Florida. The
distance from Augusta to Macon, by this route,
would he one hundred and sixty-five miles, and
the trado and travel above spoken of would be
forever lost to the Georgia Railroad, unless the
Branch to Macon is constructed. That being
done, the upper-route would have an advanlaga
of twenty miles in distance and one hour in run
ning lime. It follows, therefore, that the present
Stockholders in the Georgia Railroad Company
would actually make money by allowing the
Branch Slock to cotne in upon terms of perfect
equality.
I or these, and ether reasons, the undersigned
are of opinion that the Georgia Railroad Compa
ny will, in good faith, carry nut the contemplated
arrangement. In the Select Committee, which
reported the Resolutions, w ere three prominent
and influential members of the Board of Direc
tors of that Company, all of whom cordially sup
ported the proposition. Other members of the
Board were members of the Convention and
voted for the Resolutions. We have, therefore,
reason to hope that the Stockholders will sanc
tion the whole proceeding, and that the plan
will be carried out in good faith.
Should the Legislature therefore throw no ob
stacle in the way, the people of Macon may hope
to enjoy, at no very distant day, a direct com
munication with Augusta and North-Eastern
Georgia. The Citizens of Putnam, with that
liberality and foresight which have always char
acterized them, have already raised nil amount
nearly sufficient to complete the Branch asfaras
Eatonton, and no doubt remains that tho work
will immediately he placed under contract to
that point. The Branch will probably leave the
Georgia Railroad at some point between Greenes
boro' and Madison.
It will bo seen from the official proceedings of
the Convention, that your Delegation did not
find it necessary to use the power conferred up
on them, as the contingency did not arise in
which it was contemplated the subscription
should be made. Should the contemplated plan
be carried out, however, we have no doubt that
private capitalists would seek the Stock as a
safe investment, and that the Corporation of
Macon would run no risk in affording increased
assislance to the enterprise.
I he undersigned would state, in conclusion,
that from the investigations made in the Select
Committee, it was made apparent that the pro
posed route by way ot Eatonton, would cost from
250,000 to 300,000 dollars less than the proposed
route to Double Wells. The difference between
this route and that to Warrenton, via Milledge
ville and Sparta, would be still greater, while the
dfforence in interest, cost of repairs, transporta
tion, &c., would not fall far short ofslo,ooo per
annum, in favor ofthe Eatonton route. While
therefore, your Delegates felt willing to advocate
either route which could be constructed, they
felt no hesitation in adopting the one by Eatontun
as being not only the most economical, but as
being ti e only one which is likely to be
speedily and certainly accomplished.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

WHILE so much is being said and done by
Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for
the purpose of elevating their profession in the
public estimation ; while societies are being
formed all overthe country, and resolutions pass
ed declaratory of the superiority of their system,
and denunciatory of all and every other ; while
the prejudices of the past are being aroused, and
the fears ofthe future are being appealed to ;
while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad
verse interference denounced ; while the freedom
of speech and of opinion in professional men,
especially ot’ those of the “sacred profession,”
arc eudevoured to be curtailed, and their con
duct in givingcontenance to other systems de
nounced as “ painful and mortifying while, in
fine, they are placing their dependence for ele
vating their profession, on societies, resolutions,
denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c.
be it the pride, the happiness, and the glory
of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is far more substantial— lt the results of his
practice. ' These are his dependence, and to
thorn he looks for that “professional” elevation
to which he aspires ; and judging of the future
by tho past, he has every reason to believe that
lie will not he disappointed. Influential bodies
may rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation
may place its ban and promulgate its anathe
mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and
traduce, but“FACTS are stubborn things :”
“Are cheils that winna ding,
And dar na be disputit”—
One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them he lias laid the base, and
on them he expects to raise the superstructure ;
and in accordance with usage, will still append
more to the list, already before the public.
The following letter is from tho Rev. John
W. Mil.s of the Florida Conference, of the M
K. Church South; who without the fear of the
Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke and
accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying”
conduct, and boldly gives bis experience to the
world. It is too late in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions :
Qut.vcv, Florida, April 10th, 1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
1 received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, toy morbid appetite left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines : every
thing I eat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied with a common tncal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do their office when I last wrote
you, hut those are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left rnc, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with meat the improvement in my health.
When I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness, which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un2
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.

the original Dr. Townsend’s Sarsap&rillft. Dr. 8. I\
Tow nsend was the original proprietor and inventor of
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and his medicine has
gained a reputation that no other remedy ever gained.

City and County of New- York, tt.
William Armstrong, of the said City, being dulv
sworn, doth depose and say that he *is a practical
Druggist and Chemist That some time in the latter
part of May, or first of Juno, 1843, a man by the name
of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and
pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house
of Mr. Thompson, No. 42 lludson-street, where depo
nent boarded, and requested deponent to write him e
recipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Deponent further says, that he became acquainted
with said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster,
K.so., Book Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt. That said Townsend had had frequent conversa
tions w ith deponent respecting the manufacture of an
article of Sarsaparilla to be sold under the name of Dr
Jacob Townsend.
That said Townsend stated he u r as an old man, and
poor, and was not fit for hard labor—and wished to
make some money, in order to live easy in his old
days, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town
send sold so well, and so much money was made by
it, he could see no reason why he might nofc make
something out of it too, (his name being Townsend,)
if he could get a capable person to prepare a recipe,
and manufacture it lor him. Deponent in one of the
conversations asked said Townsend if he w as related
to Dr. 8. P. Townsend, to which lie replied, that he
knew Dr. 8. P. Townsend would be down on him after
he should commence. But that he did not care for
him, as he had formed a co-partnership w ith men who
could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was
w ell prepared to defend lumscli against any attack
that might be made on him.
Deponent further says, that pursuant to the request
of SBid Jacob Tow nsend, he wrote a recipe for tho
manufacture of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, and gave it to
him. Said Townsend observed that he wanted to
make a specimen to exhibit to his partners for their
approval, as he wished to gratify them in every thing,
as they furnished all the capital—said Townsend also
told deponent that the bottles they were to use weijo
to be of the same size and shape as Dr. S. P. Town*
send's, and deponent, at tho request of said Jacob
Townsend, went to the office of Dr. 8 P. Tow nsend,
and procured one of his labels.
And deponent further says, that he has been inform
ed, and verily believes the Syrup of SarsapftrMift, sold
as Old Jacob Townsend's, is made alter the recipe lur
nished by deponent, to Jacob Townsend, as aforo&ail.
And further deponent saith not.

Mayor of the City of New Y.oik
PROOF!! PROOF!!!
Here is prool conclusive that Dr. K. I*. TownpondA
Sarsapanllu is the original. The following is from
some of the most respectable papers in this State.
FROM THK
Albany Evening JonmnL
Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.
Then* probably never has been so popular a ri-meitv,
or patent medicine, as Dr Town-ends’* Sarsaparilla,
which was originally, and continues to be manufac
tured in this city, at "first by tho Doctor himself, und
afterwards for several years and to the present time,
by Clapp k Townsend, the present proprietor*. Since
tho partnership was formed, the Doctor has resided in
New Vo:k, where he keeps a store, and attends to the
business that accumulates at that point. The manu
factory is in this city, and is conducted by the junior
partner, Mr. Clapp—here all the medicine is manufac
tured.
Few of cur citizens have anv idea of tho amount of
this medicine that is manufactured and sold. Beside*
the sales in this country, it is shipped to the C anadas,
U'cst India Islands, South America, and even to F.u*
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ a steam engine, besides a large number
of men, women and girls, in the preparatioa, of the
medicine, making boxes, printing, kc , and turn out,
ready for shipment, oter -100 dozen per day, or nearly
kttOO bottles. This is an enormous quantitz.
'1 he great sale the medicine has acquired, has in
duced a nnmberof men to get tip imitation*, ambthere
is at the present time, other medicines for sale, that
are called •• Dr. Townsend’* Sarsaparilla.” One in par
tictilar started a short time ago in New \'o-k, is called
“ Old Doctor Jacob Townsend’s SagsapartHn.” and ap
parently " a view, by dint... wuvertmng; and the
usual remedies resorted to in inch efforts, to appropri
ate tho name rtf Dr. S. P. 'Townsend’s groat reme.lv,
and thus gain nil the advantages resulting front the
popularity of the name which lie lias acquired for
liv years of patient rind evpenshe labors. l)s. S. P.
Townsend, formerly of this city, as is welt known
here, is the inventor and original (rZoprictor of tho
medicine known as “Dr Townsend's Sarsaparilla,”
end we think those persons who are attempting to full
their article as the genuine, should be exposed
FROM THE.
New York Doily Trlbntsr.
(KJ- YVe published an advertisement inadvertently
some time since that did injustice to Dr. S. P. Town,
send, who is the original proprietor of the preparation
of Sarsaparilla known as Dr. Townsend’s. Other
parties have within the past few months engaged or
connected themselves with a man bv the nantu og
. own.end who put up a medicine avrl'caHs it* by ten
same name. Tins medicine was advertised in The
Tribune as the original, kc. This advertisement also
contained matter derogatory to the character of Dr.
S. P. Townsend am. that of his medicine. We regret
it appeared, god ui justice to the Dr. make tlu*. ex
planation.
FROM THE
New York Dally Stiw
Dr. TowNsrsu's extraordinary advertisement,which
occupies an entire page of the St s, will not escape
notice, pr. S. P. Townsend, tv ho is tire original pro
prietor ol Dr. Townsend's Suirauariltu, and vv hose of
fice is next door to ours, where he has been lor sever
al years, r< driving an immense business, lie receives
no than four hundred dvrz.cn of Sarsaparilla per
day, and even this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great a
popularity as his preparation of the .Sarsaparilla. His
edition of Almanacs for 1840 cost $33,000, and lie
has paid the New iork Sex for advertising, in the
last tour years, over SIO,OOO, and he acknowledges
that it is tiie cheapest adveiUsing lie has had done.
This medicine is e*]>ortr>d to the Canadas, West In
dies. South America anrl Ktlrope, in considerable
quantities, and is coming into general use in those
countries, as well as here.
Swindlers.
Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for tha
genuine unJ original Dr. Townsend's barsaparikki*
-““t not signed by Sv P. Tuwnsend, commits a irau<!«
nnd swindles the customers. Men that would be
guilty of such an act, would commit any other fraud
—and no Druggist of Common intelligence but knows
that cuis is the only genuine.
Olit Jacob Townscinl.
Some people who are not well informed, and hav*
not i«;nd the papers, and not seen ouj adveitisements,
have been led to suppose, that because these men ad
vertise their stuff as •* Old Jacob Townsends,” that it
must, of course, be the original. It is less than one
year since they commenced to make their medicine
Ours has been in the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Toxvi.acml.
They are endeavoring to palm off on the public an
an old Physician, Btc. He is not a regular educated
hysician, and ne\er attempted to manufacture a roed
lcme, until these men hired him for the use of his
name, t hey say they do not Wish the people to be
licve that their tsarsaporilla is ovine, or the same—but
the bpttcr to deceive the public, they at the same time
;r" ; the.:'. Is (] le (ju jy r 'j,,u nsend's, and the
nnginn! ; and endeavor to make the people believe
tt .he ‘■'utf they manufacture, is the Dr-Townsend's
•f'-piirilla, that has performed so many wonderful
ares tor the past ten years, and w hich has gained a
•eputation w hich no other raed»cine ever cujov ed--
w hich is a base, villainous, unprincipled falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men lor
damages. tVe wish it to be understood, that the old muu
is no relation to Dr. Townsend whatever, in their ad
vertisements and circulars, they publish a number of
gross lalschoods respecting Dr. Townsend, w hich vva
will not notice.

Dr. S. r Townsend was dead. This tliev send vo Iheir

given up business, kc. fc'c. The public should he on
their guard, and not be deceived b> these unprinci
